Helibars vs ABM handle bars

[Cruising180]

I'm only 45yo but I'm 6'3" and have jacked up wrists from skateboarding and BMX as a kid. I did the Helibar riser and it was all I felt I needed where the bars were concerned. I did lower the pegs 25mm as well but that's for the knees that said skating also left jacked up.

The good thing about helibars is that they are angled upward slightly and not drooping down like a proper sportbike.

Funniest thing is, 10 years ago I would have laughed at that comment.
I would've said the ABM setup is for old men!
Now I am an old man lmao.

Hi. That is whst I was thinking. So old men I will be 76 next year I will ride mine with no padding or even a seat. I bought Unit 5 tree set with a 1 inch + rake and Vortex clip ons.

Yeah, I know you’ve trudged thru jungles dodging sniper fire and napalm explosions…and hung out of helicopter gunships shooting at anything that moves, so riding a 1000 hp Busa with no seat will be a cake walk for you mike…
Never say die.

Normal riding, you sit as upright or as comfortable as you can.
For high speed, you lay down on the gas tank, and tuck behind/below the windshield as much as possible.

Hey there, I just purchased a used ‘22 with 2500 miles, mostly stock but apparently it’s been lowered in the back an inch or so, I didn’t realize this till I added some lowered pegs and almost lost my left foot making a very mild turn. You’ll definitely lose some cornering clearance if you go that route, probably not too bad with stock geometry. Just a heads up.
I’m thinking about the ABM kit myself looking forward to logging a bunch of miles on this thing.

My friend brought his lowered ( for drag racing ) bike home I definitely need bar risers and would not hesitate to buy the ABM handle bars if helibars are not enough
